Megatrain is an offshoot of Stagecoach who run several rail & bus franchises in the UK and also have a large stake in the Virgin Trains company. On this website, they offer a limited number of very cheap seats, either by rail or bus.

Tickets start at £1 and I would suggest trying this site if you are travelling shorter distances in the UK. The London to Bournemouth fares look especially good.

eg - the cheapest I can get a ticket from Edinburgh to Carlisle is £9.50 and that's with a railcard whereas booking a few weeks in advance on here only costs £1!
